only if you don't have enterprise customers. Those will continue to run IE11 for the foreseeable future as IE11 will remain supported in Windows 10 until 2025.
While Microsoft is pushing Edge as an IE replacement, Edge is still lacking features and looks too different from IE for companies to feel comfortable pushing it to their users without retraining them.
- douche 10y ago> only if you don't have enterprise customers. Those will continue to run IE11 for the foreseeable future as IE11 will remain supported in Windows 10 until 2025. We're still supporting IE9... It was a glorious day when we could finally give up on IE8.
- bgarbiak 10y agoIt's not a problem in this particular case, as CSS Grid was introduced by Microsoft, in IE10. So, more or less, four years ago. I chuckle when Google announces that Chrome will support this feature as the next big thing, while it was clear years ago that this approach is much better than flexbox. But, I'm glad it finally lands in all browsers.
- pilif 10y agoThe version of CSS Grid that's supported by IE isn't the version that's in the standard and supported by all other browsers. Same with Flexbox.
- bigmanwalter 10y agoDoesn't autoprefixer solve this?
- lajava 10y agoIt's not about vendor prefixes; MS IE implements a very old version of the CSS Grid Spec. But I guess MS will update the implementation now that CSS Grid is Candidate Recomendation. Actually, Rossen Atanassov (Microsoft) is one of the current authors of the spec.
- pjmlp 10y agoIE11 ?! You lucky guys, we still have to support older versions for some specific customers. But even better was Safari for Windows, on a very specific case around three years ago.
- shakna 10y agoThere's a government tool for mandatory testing that everybody in a certificate course must use. A feedback thing. It only runs under IE7. How I hate it.
- nailer 10y agoA lot of conservative enterprise customers are pushing Chrome, managed by group policy, since new productivity apps don't work well on IE.
- ENGNR 10y agoAlso for security reasons alone! I once sent feedback citing security as a moral hazard that someone would get fired over, as the reason IE8 needed to be ditched. Chrome showed up a few months later, I'm guessing once they'd tested group policies and install scripts (which I think google makes very easy these days). No idea if it was because of me but it was certainly welcome
